Super Bowl media day becoming less and less about hard hitting journalism and more sound bite central, something admittedly I love to take on here on TMSNX. Unfortunately though you also get the poor man’s Ryan Seacrest’s of the world who have never written a sports piece in their lives asking the most asinine questions to boot.
Nonetheless here’s the best from today’s kinda lackluster media day:
Peyton Manning says he didn't create "Omaha." Part of Broncos offense before he arrived. Says Giants, Patriots use "Omaha" audible.

Meanwhile you have to wonder if this is the last game for Champ Bailey.

Aaaaannnnddddd here we go with perhaps the most overblown story of the past two weeks by both the media and Sherman himself.
Richard Sherman early to podium, earns points with fans by lauding Jersey. Said perception of him would b different "if ppl got to know me."

What does Richard Sherman want to do when he retires? "I want to sit in front of a camera and talk football." … He absolutely will.

We only have time for the hard hitting questions…

Meanwhile Best Mode was very short in his media day appearance answering questions for about six minutes… off the stage and off to the side.

Does the NFL hand out press passes for this like Halloween candy?
